Starbucks in Oxfordshire



PUT DOWN THE PLASTIC



PLEASE NOTE
The stores pictured below are labeled with information that comes directly from the official Starbucks web site. The only alterations I have made are to remove certain punctuation marks. Please report any naming errors directly to Starbucks. Once they fix the error on their end, my database will pick it up. However, if you know any of the opening/closing dates I am missing, please send them to me.


Oxford - London Rd (71) Headington

OPENED: ?, PHOTO: 06 July 2009

Though unremarkable in terms of its interior design, this neighborhood store benefits from a very pretty facade that presents an interesting contrast with the buildings on either side. Though not strictly part of the store itself, the food truck parked in front (not visible in the photo), in a specially-designated parking space, also provides contrast, between the corporate and the local.

Actual visit July 7.


Henley - Market Street, Henley-on-Thames

OPENED: 01 January 2005, PHOTO: ? ? 2009

This store displays several pictures of the regatta that is an annual tradition here in Henley-on-Thames. Moreover, they have taken either part of a real "canoe" (is that what the boats are called?) or a replica and turned it on its end ot form a shelf.

Huge. That's the first word that came to mind when I entered this start and saw how far back it extends. And that's just the first floor, man! On top of that is a second floor that seems larger than most stores in America.

So many students could be seen about, that I could only guess there must be a university or college of some sort in this town called Oxford.

Stores Closed Before I Could Visit

The following stores are ones that I was not able to visit before they closed. Each of these stores represents the loss of a small piece of my soul. If I miss enough stores, I will eventually lose all of my soul and become like one of the walking dead. I appeal to Starbucks to alert me ahead of time before a store closes so that I will not lose my soul in its entirety.

Licensed Stores (not operated by Starbucks)

PLEASE NOTE
The list below is not meant to be a complete list of licensed stores. Some licensed stores are not listed on the Starbucks web site, and some of the stores listed below might have closed. That's not really important. I only keep track of them so I know which ones I don't need to visit. But if you know for certain that any of these are actually operated by Starbucks, please let me know (and send me a phone # so I can double-confirm).
